History of English slang.
Slang permeates all circles of society. It is born in a particular group of people, but it is spread throughout the entire class of society. People who are not part of this class sometimes use this slang, thus causing it to spread widely. Slang is firmly established in the language and seems absolutely natural for each of the groups of society that use it.

Classification of English slang
Cockney
"A true Cockney is someone born within the so und of Bow Bells" (St Mary-le-Bow Church in Cheapside, London).
Today, however, the term Cockney refers not only to those born in London, but also to anyone who speaks with such an accent. Cockney is now less frequently heard in Central London, more and more in its suburbs, as well as throughout South - East England. It is very popular in Bedford and Essex counties. There is no reason to believe that Cockney was formed as a secret language. The English, as well as any other people, like to rhyme. The proof of this is the set of double words (reduplications) in the English language.

The slang of College students
The main reasons for the functioning of youth slang is that slang is a departure from the ordinary, a game, irony, a mask. Easy youth slang seeks to get away from the boring world of adults, parents, teachers. Therefore, a huge number of people, schoolchildren, students often use slang in their speech.

English internet
Today we communicate a lot via the Internet, and therefore one should not be surprised at the appearance of a separate Internet dialect. This dialect is even simpler than the language of our everyday communication with you, and it uses many abbreviations (abbreviations of words and phrases).
English is constantly changing, although slowly. On the Internet, the process proceeds many times faster - the language there changes every day, when more and more expressions, images or videos become "viral"

How is social media changing the English language?
The emergence of the internet and the consequential array of social media networks have, without doubt, resulted in an exponential increase in new types of written language: blogs, tweets, Facebook posts and LinkedIn profiles to mention just a few. But with English being the most dominant language on the internet, how has social media changed the English language?
1. Troll, which is a term used to describe an internet user who seeks attention by making outrageous or unreasonable comments about something or someone.
2. Stream(ing), which is the transmission of data as a steady continuous flow.
3. The "cloud" is now not only a cloud in the sky, but also a cloud data storage. And in this sense, the word is found online much more often than in its original
4. Tablet, which is used to refer to portable screens.

Conclusion
Obviously, social media is a rich playground for experimenting, creating new words, and reusing old ones; they also provide a platform for people who are not obsessed with grammatical rules and syntax, giving them the freedom to defy the common Maxims of ordinary English and be innovative, creative and forward-thinking. The language is and has always been constantly evolving. While the changes and trends we see in the language over time are significant, the core of the English language remains as strong and infallible as ever
